Yes: From the nature of your question it appears that you have lost confidence in this particular doctor. If that is the case then yes, you should find a new orthopedist.

Yes: If 5 specialists (what kind?) are all in agreement, but your Orthopedist does not think so, it may be time for a reevaluation. Seek the services of a Pediatric Orthopedic Surgeon, have your child evaluated a a specialty Children's Hospital, or evaluated at a medical teaching facility.
